| VIOLATIONS PREPARED FOR THE USE OF BLOOD AT PPV! The Commission for the state of Kentucky is prepared to issue eight or nine violations for the use of blood at the Backlash PPV. Prior to the event, the WWE was warned against the use of blood, but of course, simply ignored the warning. Violators of the juicing rule are subject to fines, and in extreme cases, the promoter or promotion could lose their license in the state. Participants that violate the rule are also subject to a fine. Since blood was used in a few of the matches, those that participated in the match are subject to a violation. Additionally, Ohio Valley Wrestling was recently hit with a violation for using a non-licensed wrestler. In this case, the promotion and the participant were fined separately. Source: gerweck.net |

WWE MIGHT BE SUSPENDED IN KENTUCKY FOR BACKLASH. At the Backlash PPV WWE knowingly authorized violations of the State Athletic Commissions regulations when it had performers blade on the show. Blood is not allowed on any of these events, unless it is fake blood and not real blood. WWE will be fined and there is a chance their license would be suspended in the state. If this was to happen it would likely result in Vince McMahon pulling out of Kentucky for good and likely would also accelerate the demise of Cornette's old OVW promotion as if WWE was not going to run WWE shows in Kentucky they would likely pull all of their developmental talent out of OVW and kill off what is left of the promotion by doing so. In a funny blurb added by PWInsider.com it was said that Vince McMahon was informed of the rule before the match involving the violation and his response was "where do we send the check?". PWInsider |
